Admittedly, it does depend on how well the players you purchase turn out...

Last year you spent a ton and largely seems a waste so far despite to Suarez windfall.

Really keen to get your thoughts on this one.

News this morning is that Nigel Pearson has been sacked by Leicester.

Must say that came as a huge surprise to me given the team's efforts late last season to stay afloat.

Wasn't for anything football related. He had a problem with us firing his racist, s**t stain of a son.

Due to that, I've no problem with the sacking. Fighting racism is far bigger than football.

Leaves us behind the 8 ball now but I'm confident we'll be ok. And I'd rather be relegated than have racists on our books.

Well said Jatz.

What the hell are the PR department thinking?

Hahahaaa that is funny... Playing the sympathy card maybe??

They're going for the angle that the ref couldn't recognise who committed the foul, but now anyone can recognise them?

Doesn't particularly make sense.

It's just plain bizarre.

Haha yeah I saw that. Personally don't see it myself but what do I know

United have signed Matteo Darmian and have also reached an agreement with Bayern to bring Schweinsteiger across.

He may be old and injury prone but Schweiny is a brute of a midfielder and I think he will prove to be a wonderful addition to our squad.

Reports suggesting we have now ramped up our interest in Gareth Bale. Can't see it happening....but he'd be a huge acquisition.

 

[Jatz]

Wasn't my first choice but I'll back him in!

The greatest video I've ever seen!

The bit at the end

 

[Jeremias]

I reckon he's a good choice. Has a wealth of experience having coached some of the biggest clubs in the world, and experienced significant success with quite a number of them.

Sunderland's flying under the radar

Looks like Sunderland has signed Jeremain Lens of Dynamo Kiev for $8 million pounds. Formerly of PSV Eindhoven and a Dutch international will add pace and goal scoring to the squad. Way to go!

Sterling off to Man City for 49 million.

Bravo, Liverpool. Bravo.

They only get 35 mil guaranteed from that.

QPR get 9.8 million. The rest is dependent on trophies and other performance clauses.

I know that, but my original comment still stands.

35 million is still an obscene amount of money for a young player who has had one good season.

Whether Sterling reaches his potential at Man City remains to be seen. I am sure in an ideal world Liverpool would have loved to keep him, but that offer is simply too good to turn down. Reinvest wisely in their squad and Liverpool could be infinitely better off for it.

They've already arguably replaced him with a better player in Firmino.

I'm really interested to see how Firmino goes. South American players are often an all or nothing prospect in the Premier League. Reckon he'll be a gun personally but you never know.

35 million is actually spot on tbh. He's young, English and could very well become a 10 year player for City.

I personally see it as win/win for all concerned.

We got our man. Now we have Jermain and Jeremain.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

I've just read in the Hartlepool Mail that Sunderland has signed Younes Kaboul from Spurs for £3 million. With Coates from Liverpool (on loan last season and didn't play until end) and Adam Matthews from Celtic three new defenders on the books.

Sunderland must have a decent overdraft this year. Spending like men with no arms.

Even Villa are spending money. The world has gone crazy.

That's only because they've just sold their 2 only good players for big fees
